"Personal On" Notification:

IDK. Where are you seeing this? When does it pop up? Does it not go away?


Provide a Scresnhot:

Please provide a screenshot. Go here: Take a Screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support. IMPORTANT: Blank out personal info(i.e. names) by covering it will red-colored rectangles and such, through use of the Photos app.

"Personal On: I FOUND IT! It was a lot like a 'Do not Disturb' notification, so I looked under the Focus’s in Settings and there it was: “Personal”. I do not remember ever setting that up so I just turned it off - DELETED it. Done."

"The 'Personal ON' won't toggle to 'off.' Do I have to delete the entire Focus app? I'd like to keep 'do no disturb' and not 'Personal'"
